Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The study investigates the relationship between balanced nutrition and sports performance in swimmers, analyzing the impact of nutritional intake on physical development, exercise capacity, and post-training recovery. Methodology: 50 swimmers aged 8 to 14 were assessed by a questionnaire applied to parents, targeting the frequency of meals, intake of macronutrients and micronutrients, hydration, and use of supplements. The results emphasize the importance of a diet adapted to the metabolic requirements of swimmers, highlighting the need for personalized nutritional diaries to optimize sports performance and prevent dysfunctions associated with intense effort.
